THE NAVY PROBLEM.

hffOhI Ot IEE SECREIAh4.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-In his annual
report the secretary of the navy says:
"When the last annual report of the de-
partment was made this country lacked
three manufactures necessary to the con-
struction and armament of modern war
heavy guns; that of armor OF ironclad YES
sells and that of secondary batteries, ma
chine and rapid-fire guns. an essential
ufactories are in process OF construction
and it is believed that our private ship
yards can produce war ships equal, and
perhaps superior, to those purchased else
where when these industries shall have
been established. Ship builders have,
therefore, been zea'ously vieing with the
department in stimulating and furthering
this object and all of the unarmored yes
sells heretofore authorized by congress are
in course OF construction. The depart
ment deems it unwise to follow at present
the course Of European powers in building
unprotected torpedo boats. 1t recognizes
THE POWER OF DYNAMITE PROJECTILEs
and believes it practicable to embody it in
such manner as to insure that it will
reach any desired object of attack in spite
of known weapons and upon that problem
it has engaged estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1889, amounting to 1928, :
427,940, or $2,161 ,539 less than the estimates
and $2,754, ,78S less than the appropriations
for the current fiscal year.
SECRETARY ENDICOTT"S REPORT.
IN FAVOR OF ENCOURAGING STATE
MILITIA.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The report of
the secretary of war shows the total ex-
penditures for the fiscal year Of $41 ,S86, 1856.
The appropriations for the next fiscal year
are $31O55,302. The estimates for the fol-
lowing year aggregate $5S,S38, ,710. The
lieutenant general reports that at the date
of the last consolidated returns there were
1900 officers and 24,2S6 enlisted men in the
army. The secretary says: "The concen-
tration of garrisons at the larger post is
not only measure OF economy but by
having greater number assembled to-
gethe in cOmmOdiOus stations the discipline
and drill can be better maintained and the
men are more contented and interested in
their work. The enlargement Of the posts
at San Antonio, Fort Riley and Fort Smell
ling and new posts at Denver and Chicago
will enable several smaller stations to be
dUduuOllcu. uC llcutCuoAG SCuCA al m0hCo
the following recommendation. which is
we'll worth the attention of state author
tiles, as well as of the United States: i am
strongly il favor OF the general govern
ment extending all possible aid to the ma
tional guards of the different states, as they
constitute body of troops that in any
great emergency would form an important
part of the militia force. They should be
armed with the best weapons, amply pro-
vided with complete camp and garrison
equipage and instructed in various drills
and exercises according to the tactics
ands systems followed in the regular
army"

MARBLE WORKS COMING.

MAhDLE WOhhS COMlNG.
Peter Gjems of Rushford, South
ern Minnesota, was in Wahpeton
Monday and Tuesday looking over
the city with a view to removing
his marble works from that place to
this. Mr.. Gjems is an old and we'll
known worker and dealer in this
sort of goods,and having determined
to leave Rushford, naturally comes
to Wahpeton as one of the best rail-
way centcrs in the Northwest. Mr..
Gjems has two or three other loca.
tions in mind, but having spoken
with some of our people, a meeting
of the board of trade was called
Tuesday evening at Mr.. Seely's Of
flee which was we'll attended and the
matter discussed, when it was
learned that if Wahpeton would pay
the freight on Mr.. Gjems' goods and
machinery from Rushford to Wah-
peton that is all the bonus he would
ask, he buying such real estate as
would be needed for the location of
the plant, he having the privilege of
seeing the other locations and decid.
ing within the next few weeks as
to location. The works would bring
at the very least four families with
every prospect of soon increasing to
six or eight-and even more. The
enterprise is Of such a nature as
would naturally radiate throughout
the country in every direction, draw
ing money to Wahpeton. naturally
a benefit to the city. His agents
now traverse the whole Northwest,
having in fact already built up a
large business In Dakota. It strikes
us that if Wahpeton can secure so
valuable an institution as this for
so small an aid that it would be we'll
to 60 on and pledge the money. A
committee was appointed consisting
Of Messrs. John Nelson, G. B. Pin
ney and j. R. Hughes to canvas the
city in aid of the project, with every
assurance that the M oney would be
readily pledged. We think that this
enterprise located here would not
only benefit Wahpeton and Breckin.
ridge, but that it would be of great
benefit to the proprietor of the works
himself. 1t is good location for
such thing. Has the railroad ia
cilities and the large field in which
to work.
